"It hurts... don't do it anymore..." Chu Wan pushed Wang Meng's hand away in disgust. She would rather leave a scar than take medicine, it hurts too much.

"General, a man can't say it hurts." Wang Meng said and wanted to lean on her again.

Chu Wan pushed him away: "You said it yourself, you have scars, and you are domineering." After pushing, Chu Wan felt that she might be a little too unkind, and said to Wang Meng: "Give me the medicine, I will do it myself. It's peaceful, and there are no Huns making trouble, Wang Meng... Wang Meng?" She didn't finish her sentence, why did she leave?

After being dazed for a while, Chu Wan picked up the knife and began to sharpen it. Wang Meng rushed in again: "General!"

Chu Wan: "Speak well."

"Oh...the imperial edict is here, asking you to return to Beijing."

Chu Wan, who was sharpening her knife, was not surprised: "Yes."

Wang Meng said again: "As long as you return to Beijing alone."

Chu Wan threw the knife away, stood up and asked, "What?"

"Go and see for yourself." Wang Meng said aggrievedly.Chu Wan smiled and sat down again, kicking the knife aside: "Grandma's." Sure enough, Li Shouqian would not give her a chance to recruit soldiers, nor would she let her go free.

"General, don't be angry, Xu..."

"When will you go back?" It would be a good choice to get close to Li Shouqian after going back this time.

Wang Meng said, "Immediately."

Chu Wan picked up the knife and sharpened it a few times, put it on her waist, and took another sword.When going out, Chu Wan hugged Wang Meng, put her fist on his back, and said, "Brother, I've helped you a lot recently. Stay here carefully."

"Okay, I will live up to your expectations." Wang Meng hugged Chu Wan tightly, then let go, letting him walk alone.

All the way out of the city, a few soldiers came to see her off, and a few aunts came to guard her girl, which made her want to cry and laugh at the same time.

"Ma'am, there's really no need." Chu Wan put her fist against her lower lip and waved her hand, "Young lady, find a good man to marry."

"General, no one wants my Nini, so you can take it with you."

Chu Wan laughed out loud, and said warmly: "The journey is inconvenient, aunt, thank you."

"We still have to thank you."

Chu Wan lamented that the people here are very enthusiastic. They took him to eat and play a lot of things. It took until evening before she set off with a child. The child insisted on following Chu Wan, and she could not let him go alone, so she had to take with him.

After walking all night, Chu Wan jumped off the horse and said to him, "Take a break." The child was hugged by Chu Wan and jumped off, nodding.Chu Wan asked him, "What's your name?"

"I don't have a name."

Chu Wan: "Don't lie to brother."

"Little...little puppy."

Chu Wan laughed for a moment, patted her leg and asked, "Are you from Liu Xiaogou?" She didn't remember that there was such a cute child in Liu Xiaogou's camp.

The child said righteously: "General Liu asked me to follow you and protect you."

Seeing him like this, Chu Wan thought it was cute and funny, such a little child, what was there to protect, but she couldn't help but admire his courage, among the people left behind, only this child dared to accompany her back to Beijing.

Young and innocent, but also brave beyond reach.

The child looked seriously: "Brother, when can we arrive?"

Chu Wan: "I'm going to call you brother so soon. Let me think about it. If it's quick, it's half a month. If it's slow... two months is also possible."

"Brother, don't you want to go back? Don't you have anyone you want to see?"

This question touched the bottom of Chu Wan's heart. She... seemed to really not miss the capital, but she longed to see that innocent person again.How can she see her now?Will she be frightened when she sees it?After thinking for a long time, Chu Wan seriously replied to him: "I want to. There are people I want to meet."

"I have it too."

"Silly boy, is there anyone you want to see?"

"I want to go home." The boy's eyes suddenly softened, and he grabbed the grass with his five fingers. "I only know that I was carried from the capital by General Liu. I want to go home."

"That's right...I think so too." But my home is no longer there, my parents, my parents, my brothers and sisters are no longer here.

But she still wants to say:

"Hopefully this time you can find your family."

Liu Xiaogou was drinking with some old friends in Beijing these days, some old guys in Yunsheng and Zhou Cheng also ate and drank, and Wang Nian managed all the affairs in the mansion by himself.

In the past few days, she stole through Chu Lingmei's things, and finally found out, and she became free and easy.She used to like that smiling general, but she wanted Chu Lingmei to be herself again.

Xu Huahua stayed at the house all day preparing for her marriage. Although it was not uncomfortable, she was bored to death, counting the days and waiting for Chu Lingmei to return to Beijing.

Hua Xian didn't mind the trouble, she ran here every day, and Xu Huahua occasionally took a look at it, and she would be scolded by Xu Yu.

She was used to this kind of life, and the only thing she was looking forward to was Chu Lingmei.

"General, you came back and tasted the wine I brewed." Xu Huahua held the bone flute, and she could only hold it, she didn't know how to play this kind of thing, or she was waiting for Chu Lingmei Come back and teach her to blow.

Ye Ling was very busy here, and Li Shouqian couldn't take care of him these days, so he ran outside the palace every day whenever he was free: It doesn't matter if Li Shouqian is happy, as long as he is happy.

Wang Nian stood alone on the porch, watching the rain, waiting for someone.

She was dressed in black, with her hair tied up in a bun, and she was always smiling, because she didn't want to distract the general anymore.

"Nian Nian, why are you standing alone? Go back."

Wang Nian looked forward and saw that it was Liu Xiaogou. This idiot could not hold an umbrella even in rainy weather. Wang Nian untied his cloak and welcomed him into the mansion: "General, you are here."

"I told you earlier, call me Gouzi, look, didn't I also call you Niannian?" Liu Xiaogou leaned back in the chair, "I'm exhausted, when will your general come back? I don't want to do it anymore."

Wang Nian made fun of him: "Our general doesn't drink alcohol."

Liu Xiaogou retorted: "Alas, it's not this, we have done a lot."

"God, when will you inquire about the jade pendant? The general should be back soon." Wang Nian took out the cyan jade pendant from his arms and handed it to him.Liu Xiaogou picked it up, looked at the candle, and said, "This...is hard to find, why don't you wait a little longer?"

Wang Nian looked serious: "Goofy, this may affect our general's life, if you don't want to help, just say it."

Liu Xiaogou: "Shut up, Chu Lingmei is also my friend, how can I leave him behind? All right, I'll ask someone tomorrow."

"Thank you."

"I've said it all, I'm an ass general in Sifang City. There is no grass or horse here, let alone the blood of the brothers. We rough people are at the mercy of others here."

"You're not, Nian Nianxiang..." Before Wang Nian finished speaking, Liu Xiaogou covered his mouth. He pulled Wang Nian to the outside of the screen and whispered, "There is someone."

Wang Nian nodded, and watched the man keep searching for something in the wooden cabinet. The wooden cabinet was where Chu Lingmei put gold and silver. She suddenly understood, and jumped out regardless of Liu Xiaogou's obstruction, holding the jade pendant: "Are you I'm looking for this."

"Nian Nian, come back." Liu Xiaogou had already pulled out the knife behind him.But instead of looking back, Wang Nian took a few steps forward and asked the man in black, "If you're here to look for this, then take out the other one."

The man in black threw down the knife and took out an identical jade pendant from his waist. Liu Xiaogou also came out from behind the screen and asked him, "Who are you?"

The man in black was clearly a man, but his voice was a woman's: "It doesn't matter who I am, let Chu Lingmei come to Chu Manor to find me immediately." After speaking, the man in black jumped out of the window and left.Wang Nian looked at Liu Xiaogou: "Teacher's servant?" Liu Xiaogou: "Why do you know?"

Wang Nian pointed to the back of his neck: "He has an injury here."

Wang Nian didn't know that she was much bigger in Chu Lingmei's clothes. She exposed half of her back. Liu Xiaogou looked at it for a long time without saying a word, but just nodded.Wang Nian asked: "Aren't you surprised? Ye Ling reminded the general when he came here, now... Gouzi, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Xiaogou said perfunctorily: "Oh...it's okay, you can continue talking."

"Nian Nian feels that although the Grand Tutor is close to Li Shouqian, it is only close. His heart is for the general."

Liu Xiaogou raised his eyebrows: "Yes. What does it mean to come to the Chu Mansion immediately? Chu Lingmei is still in the west, what is the Chu Mansion?"

Wang Nian: "Immediately...it should be the day I return to Beijing, the Chu Mansion...could it be the residence of the former Prime Minister Chu Gou? Chu Lingmei...Chu Gou..."

"Niannian, what are you thinking? It's impossible. There is no such person as Chu Lingmei in the former prime minister's family. Besides, their family is buried in the south of the city, in the Liu family cemetery. Chu Lingmei is just a wild child who grew up in the south." Liu Xiaogou thought Just say if you don't want to.

"I think so too." Wang Nian said, "I'm overthinking."

ten days later

After Chu Wan entered the city, she hurried into the palace and met Li Shouqian.

After chatting with a group of civil servants for a while, they learned about Xu Huahua's marriage from Hua Qingjia. They were a little surprised, but not surprised. In Xu Huahua's eyes, she might have been a dead person long ago.

forget about her.

Yeah.

Chu Wan approached the Golden Palace and handed in the military talisman with a cold face. After Li Shouqian got his purple seal and military talisman, he said happily: "General Chu has made meritorious service. We must have a good meal when we wait for the October banquet. Oh? General Chu's face What's going on here?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I accidentally rowed."

"Be careful, the reward will be sent back to your house the next day, so don't worry, I will take care of you for a few days." Li Shouqian shook his legs and smiled, "I'm tired, you should go back first."

"Yes." Chu Wan bowed and walked down the hall calmly.Outside the hall, Ye Ling seemed to be waiting for someone, Chu Wan walked over and saluted: "Teacher." Ye Ling also returned the salute: "General Chu, come here and be safe."

"Thank you, Master."

Ye Ling said indifferently: "It's hard to say, just do it easily." As he spoke, Ye Ling tapped Chu Wan with his folding fan, across Chu Wan's chest, and into her hand. Chu Wan immediately grabbed the corner of the fan, and After chatting for a few words, let go of your hand: "Teacher is very kind, but Chu is really not interested, so let's say goodbye."

"Just leave it here." Ye Ling fanned her fan and looked at Chu Wan's back, and murmured, "Xiao Wan, you will see your brother soon."

In the hall, Wang Jing reported to Li Shouqian: "Your Majesty, the Taifu and General Chu share a bamboo fan, and behave intimately. It seems that the Taifu... intends to get close to General Chu."

"Understood, call Taifu over tonight."

The author has something to say:

Chu Wan Ye Ling's perspective is called Chu Wan

I don’t know that Chu Wan’s (Wang Nian, Liu Xiaogou and others) are all called Chu Lingmei

(The name is too ugly...)
